The Fulani come from the Senegambia region. Genetics and linguistics have shown this. They are closely related to Serers, Wolofs and other Senegambian ethnics.
Are all Somalis useless insecure fucktards or is it just you?

What the heck are you talking about, Fulani and Touareg are not mixed.

Touareg are Berbers, Fulani are of Senegambian Saharan origin. We did not come from the Horn of Africa. Touareg for all I know and Fulani are older than you guys. Touaregs and Fulani once roamed West North Africa (present day Algeria, Morocco, even to Libya). However, when Arabs came a lot of us lost our lands. Some Fulani may have forgiven the Arabs, but I can tell you right now, the Touaregs have not forgiven the the Arabs. The Touaregs only respected one Arab and that was Ghaddafi.

the Tuareg people are Berber-speakers who trace their ancestry to the indigenous peoples of North Africa in ancient times. They share the same language family as the Berber-speakers of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya. Tuaregs live primarily in Niger, Mali, Algeria and Libya, with diasporas in many surrounding countries.

Like most of the people in the northern third of the African continent, the Tuareg people adopted Islam over the past few centuries. Because they are Muslim and herd camels, many Americans and Europeans have confused them with Arabs. But the Tuaregs are not Arabs, and they do not descend from Arabs. Although they adopted some Arab customs in connection with herding practices, Tuareg social traditions are very different from those of Arabs, and they do not claim any affinity with Arabs. They identify themselves as Berber-speakers - Amazighan (pronounced slightly different in each region).

Did you just copy and past that somewhere? There are many Touaregs that live in Nigeria fyi who came here during the war in Mali and Niger as refugees they live not too far from us. As a matter of fact, you can not mistake Arab and Touareg, they look far different. Touaregs if anything look more Fulani. The picture below is of a Touareg man.





This music video is of my favourite Touareg group:

Touaregs are black, (majority are). The berbers in North Africa are all mixed with Turkish, Greek, Roman, Arab, etc. and no longer speak their Berber language (Tamazight) or use the Berber alphabet (Tiffnagh). You have no idea of what you are talking about. Don't Somali schools have better education system.

Most Touaregs DO NOT look Arab. Do not mistake the the Algerian Berber who has been mixed with Romans, Greeks, Turks and Arabs for Centuries. The only real Berber group today are the Kel-Tamashaq (Touaregs) because they are the only Berbers who speak their language and write in the Tiffnagh alphabet. Not these Arab speaking Berbers who claim they are Berber but can't even make a sentence in their language. You know nothing about West Africa why don't you go back to you Somali threads and bounce gtho

Stop being a retar.d, Northwest Africa is not the same as Northeast Africa. They have never been the same nor never will be. Whether you want to acknowledge the fact that you are negroid is your business, I don't care what you call yourself. Do not associate Northwest Africa with you again.

Leave your Egypt talk to a different thread, Ancient Egyptians were mainly of Nubian and Merote ancestry which means they were a Nilo-Saharan people like the Kanuri and Songhai. With that said, My ethnic group are not related to Somalis, have never been and never will be. It's amazing when Ethiopians and some Somalis on youtube try to claim us when we are a completely different group. Accept West Africa for what it is, a very diverse region full of rich black cultures.

Actually, it was a mixture of both language groups, it you look at many monuments in Northern Sudan in the earlier period it was in the AfroAsiatic language, for example temple of Soleb, El kurru, and some of the earlier pyramids, however later it was switch to Nilo Saharan, which means you and the somali dude are correct. In other words, the region is more or less diverse linguistically, and you can obviously see that with the faces of the current population.

All am saying is that from all the nigerians and blacks i have seen: they all view soft hair and straight nose as beautiful: and in the horn of africa we have these features. Thats why i came to my logical conclusion that we are the best looking people in the world. Whites have skin that is nasty.

There are people in Nigeria with soft hair and there are people in Nigeria with kinkier hair, we do not discriminate. I love both the same. I have never ever even paid attention to what kind of hair I have until I made contact with Westerners. In Nigeria, we do not make such distinctions.

Whether you are dark skinned, light skinned, whatever. Nigerians do not discriminate. That is the beauty of this country Nigeria

the people with the soft hair have admixture, and are a small minority. even then they are looked up upon as the rest wear weaves. thus proving my point.

I don't know, Nigeria is too diverse, most of us Mbororo are not even mixed and are pure Fulani (thus the reason why we speak the purest of Fulfulde).

well if soft hair is not seen as better than nappy hair: why do so many women wear weaves that are soft and spend thousands of dollars on them?

how many arabs, whites, indians do you see putting nappy fake hair on their head?

You are mistaken, a lot of Nigerian women do not even know what a weave is unless if they live in a big city. Most Nigerian women have not been exposed to this western thing. In Nigeria, women care more about their curves than their hair (which I deem fine, as long as their hair gets down to their shoulders who cares)?

I naturally have long hair, but you know what, I don't wear long hair because it hinders my chances at a job. Also, a few women have convinced me that it is does not look too masculine (unless if I wear dreadlocks which will never happen).

So in other words, nigerians who don't live in big cities don't wear weaves. But the minute they get money and move to a big city they adopt the western notion of beauty that means having soft hair is beautiful.

It's more like Nigerian women don't need them. Nigerian women are amongst the most beautiful in the world (not to be biased). The only issue I have with Nigerian women is how they love money and a man based on his profession too much (instead of a mans heart). There are several Nigerian women with naturally long hair.

I am tired of insecure Africans that flaunt the little Caucasoid looks they have. No matter how pointed your nose is. You are not white. Never forget that. White people don't want you. They don't even want Arabs. In their book you are on the very bottom of the totem pole. So why congratulate yourself and try to feel superior to other Africans when your country is in the worst shape on the continent. Most foreigners look down on Africans because of pictures of starving Somalians and Ethiopians. Instead of collaborating with other Africans you north Africans make me laugh. You want to keep worshiping your oppressors. I will not stop laughing at your ignorance.

If you want you can get back to me if you need more lessons. Its easy when you talk to people that don't know their history, but i will teach you many things. I usually don't comment but you caught my attention.
